Cuan Beo Environmental CLG

Cuan Beo. was established by local community members who have come together to campaign for and assist in the restoration of the natural habitat, species, environment and heritage of Galway Bay that is underpinning the economic and social fabric of the district, the recreational amenity it provides and the livelihoods of those who work and live within its catchment. Focused on water quality, our impact in rural development, marine education, blue health, economics and heritage is profound.
